Today's fitness tip: The 3 to 5 Plan is perhaps one of the most common lifting plans that serious lifters follow.

3 to 5 exercises
3 to 5 sets per exercise
3 to 5 reps per set
3 to 5 minutes rest between sets

Choose compound, multi-joint movements, such as squats, deadlifts, cleans, snatches, bench press, rows, military presses or push presses, etc. 

Do 3 to 5 sets of 3 to 5 reps per set.  Take 3 to 5 minutes rest between sets due to the heavier weights and overall heavier volume.

Don't immediately jump into this with 5 exercises, 5 x 5 on the sets/reps, because you're going to get hammered hard.

Start with a 3x5 approach with 3 exercises, such as deadlift, bench, and power clean.

Add more sets for these three exercises over the course of time.

Week 1: 3 x 5
Week 2: 4 x 5
Week 3: 5 x 3
Week 4: 5 x 4
Week 5: 5 x 5

When you're ready to add a 4th exercise, begin again with 3 sets of 5 reps. 
Go through the weekly cycle like this, and in 15 weeks, you'll be doing 5 exercises for 5 sets of 5.

Have a great weekend and DON'T FORGET TO CURL TODAY.
